[Intro][Female Lead Vocal over a dry snare count-in, jangling keys, and the three-note access-buzzer riff]

Seven fifty-nine, hear the key ring beat.
Coffee coughs an error code; the lights skip three.
Mind the bucket, watch your feet.
Welcome to Building B.

[Verse 1][Female Lead Vocal]

GREH-ta hits the sidewalk, toolbox in her hand,
Sixty keys behind her like a pocket brass band.
The loading gate has chirped since half past two,
A taped note says, "It flickers. Good luck."
The ceiling bows above Conference C,
Then the lobby speaker calls, "GREH-ta, line three."

[Pre-Chorus][Female Lead Vocal]

Loose hinge, slow drip,
Breaker with a nervous tick.
Amber where the green should be,
Morning shift; the keys agree.

[Chorus][Female Lead Vocal with Gang Responses]

Welcome to Building B,
Keep your hard hat next to me.
Hear that rattle? There goes the fee.
Hear that silence? Warranty.
Turn the key and count to three,
Welcome to Building B.

[Verse 2][Female Lead Vocal]

The west-side windows whistle through their frames,
The fourth-floor dryer screams but never gives its name.
An elevator shudders, thinks, and climbs,
The badge reader flashes amber seven times.
GREH-ta hears the ductwork draw a rusty breath,
A metal lung negotiating with death.

[Pre-Chorus][Female Lead Vocal]

Loose belt, hot wire,
Fan motor one degree from fire.
Amber where the green should be,
Lunch is late; the keys agree.

[Chorus][Female Lead Vocal with Gang Responses]

Welcome to Building B,
Keep your hard hat next to me.
Hear that rattle? There goes the fee.
Hear that silence? Warranty.
Turn the key and count to three,
Welcome to Building B.

[Instrumental Break][Short guitar phrases answer metal door slams while bass carries the access-buzzer motif]

[Bridge][Female Lead Vocal]

She knows which pipe knocks after rain,
Which bolt needs oil, which wall wears a stain.
The budget cut the parts last spring,
So tape became a permanent thing.

[Breakdown][Female Lead and Gang Call-and-Response]

South stair light! (Blinking!)
Loading gate! (Sinking!)
Basement pump! (Slowing!)
Coffee line! (Still growing!)

[Final Chorus][Female Lead Vocal with Gang Vocals]

Welcome to Building B,
Keep your hard hat next to me.
When three small faults agree to meet,
Someone better know the concrete.
GREH-ta turns the master key,
Welcome to Building B.

[Outro][Female Lead Vocal over isolated key-ring hits]

Eight ten, two alarms agree.
Something rolls beneath her feet.
She writes, "Check all systems, please."
Welcome to Building B.
